व्यपगतलेपालाबून्यायः (vyapagatalepAlAbUnyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
The maxim is based on a peculiar nature of a pumpkin. When the earth is applied to it, it goes down and sinks. When that applied clay is washed off, it starts floating on the water. The maxim implies the Jain doctrine that when a person is freed from action, he moves up and up. In this example the pumpkin is like an individual and the cover of earth is his Karman. --सा० 704
